A '''slider''', also known as '''track bar''' in Microsoft literature, is an object in a [[GUI]] with which a user may set a value by moving an indicator, usually in a horizontal fashion. In some cases the user may also click on a point on the slider to change the setting. It is different from a [[Scrollbar]] in that it is typically used to adjust a value without changing the format of the display or the other information on the screen.
In the [[Microsoft Windows]] series of operating systems, sliders first appeared in [[Windows 95]]. Previous versions of Windows, up to and including [[Windows 3.x]], used scrollbars for this purpose.
